     | 1,114 views

    1 of 3. The prophet Malachi linked the importance of godly fathers to a positive outcome for mankind’s existence. Godly fathers are vital to our existence. But What makes godly fathers so vital? 3 validations that godly fathers are vital for our very existence.

    The NECESSITY For GODLY FATHERS-I(2023)—Malachi 4:4(4-6) Attention/Need: Our society lives under the mistaken belief that there is no realistic need for fathers & that a home is just fine without them.

     | 5,279 views

    When you appear before a holy God, you would no more approach Him than you would walk into shark-infested waters. When God appears in front of you and you tremble in awestruck fear, it is a wise thing to call for a mediator to stand between you and He.

    Today we begin a new series entitled simply, The Ten Commandments. Today’s Scripture And God spoke all these words, saying, 2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3 “You shall have no other gods before me. 4 “You shall not make for ...read more

    The apostle Paul employed a farming illustration to explain how our heavenly bodies will be different and so much better than our earthly bodies. Consider the difference between the seed that is planted and the plant that results.

    A. Today, I want to start with the story of a young boy who came home from worship and Sunday school with a question for his mom: “Is it true we come from dust and after we die, we return to dust?” 1. His mother said, “That’s right, son. Does that concern you?” 2. The boy hesitated, but then ...read more

    After seventy years of exile, God's people returned to Jerusalem with grand plans. Yet sixteen years later, their own comfort overshadowed God's house, teaching us costly lessons about misplaced priorities.

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but some names get pretty stunk up by their owners, don’t they? Of course, the opposite can be true, too. ...read more

    As the bride of Christ we take His name, we bare His name. Are we living our lives in vanity, poorly reflecting His name? Or are we allowing our lives to glorify His name?

    (Exodus 20:7 NASB) "7 "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain." This is one of the Ten Commandments I have misunderstood more than any other in the 17 years I have known the Lord: Don't take the Lord's name in ...read more
